What’s Coming up “On Anything, Really”: Another Great Week!
First off, today—and every day, pretty much—I am beavering away on Daughter of Blood, The Wall of Night Book Three. Over the past month to six weeks I am been revising the manuscript-to-date and making it even leaner and meaner than it was, but also—the good part—considerably more twisty and turn-y. The constituent parts are always there on a first cut, I find, but it’s always about how you put the parts together and for me that always takes quite a bit of reworking. Anyways, another post will follow when I’ve completed this process, just so you’re all as fully in the loop as I am—other than the eternal proviso of course, a la Lao Tzu, that ‘the book that can be spoken of is not the book.’
So what else is coming up this week–the Tuesday Poem’s ekphrastic poetry series is done and dusted, so I’ll be focusing on something else for this week–have been thinking about branching into a theme of ‘sparrows’ following on from last week’s final poem. Watch this space tomorrow…
On Wednesday I’ll wrap up the Here’s SpecFicNZ–Christchurch feature series, and on Thursday I’ll introduce Rebecca Fisher and a new series coming up–discussing speculative fiction (or closely related) film and television. I am really looking forward to seeing this kick off, starting with introducing Rebecca, who will be bringing you this fascinating topic.
Also mid-week, I’ll be doing a guest post on the BookSworn site so will cross-post to that from here—I hope some of you will pop on over and support me there with a comment or three. 😉
On Saturday, I’ll be welcoming Ripley Patton back to talk about her forthcoming second-in-series, Ghost Hold. I’m looking forward to finding out what comes next in Ripley’s exciting YA paranormal-thriller series.
I reckon I could just about claim, given all of this, that it’s all happening right here—but if not quite ‘all’, there’s plenty going down, at any rate. 🙂
